Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>So far, ANC officials have engaged delegations from the Democratic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, Economic Freedom Fighters, National Freedom Party and Patriotic Alliance.<\/p>\n

The African National Congress (ANC) says the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has snubbed coalition talks as parties scramble to agree on a power-sharing deal.<\/p>\n

The ANC suffered a humiliating loss at the May 29 polls and is currently shopping around for coalition partners.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the party\u2019s national working committee met to deliberate on the outcomes of some of the coalition talks \u2013 which are still in their early stages.<\/p>\n

So far, ANC officials have engaged delegations from the Democratic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, Economic Freedom Fighters, National Freedom Party and Patriotic Alliance.<\/p>\n

ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said the MK Party was yet to come to the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe national officials reported to the national working committee that the ANC has repeatedly reached out to the MK Party for an engagement party, with no positive party. Our door remains open as we continue to reach out to MK Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bhengu-Motsiri, once again, made a call for parties to set petty politics aside.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur story is a story of speaking to everyone in the interest of a consensus, in the interest of a national dialogue in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Parliament is required to hold its first sitting within two weeks after the election result is declared to elect a new president, the ANC says there are no clear timelines to conclude coalition talks.<\/p>\n
